PUMP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEO A. BRIGEL, a c1t1- Zen of the United States, residing at Cheviot, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Iumps, of which the following is a specification. j My invention relates to improvements 1n One of its objects is to provide a simple, inexpensive and. eiticient pump for clsterns and wells of moderate depth.

Another object is to provide such pumps adjustable to variations in the depth of wells `and eisterns, and adapted to be conveniently transported and readily assembled and adjusted where required 'for use.

My invention also comprises certain details of form, combination and arrangement, all of which will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure `l is a central vertical section through one Aform of my improved pump in position for use. Fig. 2 `is a similar view showing a modification. a Fig. 3 is a horizon tal section on line a? m of Fig. 1. Fig. l is a section on line u o of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a partly formed spout box section. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the completed spout box section. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the valve` and valve cage. Fig. S is a section on line t t of Fig. l. Fig. 9 is a section on line y y of Fig. 2. Fig. lO is a section on line fw w of Fig. 2. F l1 is a side elevationof a modification.

In the accompanying drawings A represents the pump body comprising `a sheet metal tube which may be of `uniform diameter, but is `preferably slightly tapered from the top downward. To the lower end of the body A is attached a valve cage B, preferably by telescoping with the lower end of said section A. The valve is preferably a ball valve resting normally upon a Seat 1, and held in place by cross bars b2. These cross bars are preferably extended downwardly below the valve seat at b3, and may be employed as a rest or support ior the pump body against the bottom of the well or cistern, and to hold the valve a sulicient distance above the bottom of the well to insure a supply of clear water. The entrance to the valve is preferably covered with a Speeicaton of Letters Patent.

screen '5? to prevent the entrance of solid matter.

The pump body A is supported upon the curbC by a sleeve or f'lange c, which is preferably split and adapted to be adjusted and clamped to the desired position on the pump body A. rlhe pump spout D is preferably carried by a separate short tube section d, having an offset or box d1 `toiwhich the spout is clamped by means of bolts and a metal washer (Z2, and packing ring, d, to

form a water tight joint. Box (Z1 gathers and conducts the water to the spout. The sections A and d are preferably secured together by a telescopic joint at a of sullicient length to iirmly support the section al in line with the section A. The joint at a, and also the joint between the section A and the valve cage are adapted to be finally closed and made water tight by solder after the pump has reached its destination. 1

E represents the pump plunger, comprising a sheet metal tube closed at both ends by caps c c1 and of slightly less diameter than the tube A, and with its seam c2 turned inwardly, while the seam a* of tube A -is turned outwardly. `The tube E may be of uniform diameter where a tube A of uniform diameter is employed, but is preferably slightly tapered and employed with a tube A tapered to like degree.

F represents a pump handle having double handle bars f2, carried by a split ring f by means of which it may be clamped to any desired position on the tube or plunger E.

For wells oit' ten to twelve feet in depth the tubes A E are of one piece as shown in For greater depths the respective tubes are as shown in Fig. 2 formed of two sections telescoped together for su'licient distances to insure firm connections and good alinement, and are adapted to be transported in sections, and united and soldered at their destination.

In Fig. 2 I have shown a pump handle comprising a handle bar G, having an eye g through which the pump plunger passes. A split ring g2 is adapted to be clamped to position on the pump plunger, and is provided with studs g to pivotally connect said ring `g2 to the handle bar G. One end of handle bar G is pivotally connected to a link gL which is pivoted at its opposite end to a split ring g5 clamped to the pump body.`

In F ig. 11, l have shown a modification in which the plunger is operated by a foot treadle H which is attached to the pump plunger by means of straps h and a split ring h1, and guided by a ring h2.

The hollow plunger E is light in weight and normally floats on the water in the pump body which rises on the inside oi' the pump body through the valve b to the same height as it stands in the well. In operation the plunger E, when 'forced downwardly, displaces the water in the lower portion oi the pump body, causing it to rise and flow out, at the spout, and where the tubes are slightly tapered a tight lit between the pump body and plunger can be attained when the plunger is in the lower position, and practically all the water in the pump body can be displaced and flow through the spout. Villien the plunger is again lifted water flows in at the valve to replace that removed through the spout. By lifting the plunger above the point at which it would normally come to rest, at each stroke an increased quantity oi water can be pumped. The various adjustable attachments permit the pump part to be readily adjusted to correspond to varying heights of water in the well or cistern, and to wells of ditlerent depths, and facilitate transportation of the pumps. The various joints of the body and plunger can be read-- ily made tight and rigid by solder at their destination.

As illustrated in Fig. l, the valve cage telescopes within the end of the body section, while as illustrated in Fig. 2, the valve cage telescopes over the end of the body section.

rlhe mechanism herein illustrated and described is capable of considerable modification without departing Jfrom the principle of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is:

1. 1n a mechanism of the character described, a tubular body section, a valve cage having a tubular section telescopically united to the lower end of said body section and provided with a valve adapted to admit water to the lower end of said body section, an independent spout member having a tubular section telescopically united to the upper end of said body section, means attached to the exterior of said body section to adjustably support said body section upon a curb, a hollow displacement plunger closed at its lower end and'at its upper end projecting` above said body section and adapted to be reciprocated within said body section, and mechanism to reciprocate said plunger clamped upon the eX- terior of said plunger above said body section and adjustable longitudinally of said plunger.

In a mechanism of the character described, a tubular body section, a valve cage provided with a valve and a tubular section to telescopicallyv engage and close the lower end ot said body section, an independent spout member having a tubular section to telescopically engage the opposite end of said body section, a member encircling and adapted to be adjustably clamped upon the exterior of said body section and to rest upon a curb and to support said body section relative to said curb, and a tubular displacement plunger closed at its lower -end and adapted to be reciprocated within said body section.
